Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as an Aerospace
Align your credentials to specialty occupation standards
Aerospace roles typically qualify as specialty occupations because they require a degree in aerospace, mechanical, or systems engineering. Make sure your Australian bachelor's degree transcripts explicitly show your field of study before approaching employers.
Target primes and their tier-one suppliers
Defense and space primes like Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman regularly hire internationally, but so do their tier-one suppliers. Supplier roles often have shorter hiring timelines and less internal red tape around E-3 sponsorship.
Address security clearance requirements early in interviews
Many U.S. aerospace roles require security clearances that non-citizen applicants cannot hold initially. Ask directly whether the role is clearance-gated; commercial aviation, satellite, and civilian space positions frequently do not require clearance and are genuinely accessible on E-3.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to manage your LCA
Your employer must file a certified Labor Condition Application with DOL before your visa appointment. Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork so the process doesn't stall at the employer's end.
Time your application around ITAR and export control onboarding
Aerospace employers subject to ITAR export controls often run background checks and technology access reviews before or alongside visa processing. Build at least four to six weeks of buffer into your start date beyond your visa appointment to account for this.

Find Aerospace JobsAerospace E-3 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find aerospace jobs in the U.S. with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is the most direct way to search for aerospace roles where employers are open to E-3 sponsorship. You can filter by job title and visa type to surface roles suited to Australian candidates. Many aerospace positions qualify because they require a specific engineering degree, which satisfies the E-3 specialty occupation requirement without additional documentation hurdles.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Do aerospace roles qualify as specialty occupations for E-3 purposes?
Yes. Aerospace engineering, avionics, propulsion, systems integration, and related technical disciplines consistently qualify as specialty occupations because they require at minimum a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. Roles in project management or general operations within aerospace companies may face more scrutiny if the degree requirement is not specific to the function.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for aerospace professionals?
The E-3 has no annual cap and no lottery, so an Australian aerospace engineer can apply any time of year and receive a decision at the consulate in days rather than months. H-1B registration closes in March for an October start, and selection is not guaranteed. For Australian citizens, the E-3 is a more reliable and faster path to the same outcome.
Can I switch aerospace employers after arriving on an E-3?
Yes, but each new employer must file a fresh Labor Condition Application with DOL before your new role begins. You cannot transfer your existing E-3 to a new employer. Once the LCA is certified, you either apply for a new E-3 visa at a consulate or, if you're already in the U.S., your new employer can begin sponsoring you for a change of E-3 status.
